I had an interesting conversation with one member of our borough council. We were discussing the illegal immigration and I was told that here we have a housing ordinance that prohibits families to live in the same house without separate rooms for the boys and girls in the family.

I also have found out that there are local ordinances that also address how many people can be in a dwelling.

The council member told me that the law enforcement has their hands tied when it comes to dealing with illegal immigrates, but that they do have the authority to enforce local ordinances. To many families in one house and they can charge the landlord and occupants with violating the local ordinance.

Check your local housing ordinances. If there is nothing there insist that an ordinance be passed to protect the "boys and girls" of the family. Make sure that you have ordinances that address the size of a "family" that can occupy a dwelling. With the illegals from Mexico it is common that "families" live together. Just a thought.....
